Bad breath is an annoyance that can cause social embarrassment and this situation will directly ruin one’s communication, physical appearance and daily activity. Have you thought of ways of get rid this bad odor?

You do not snigger yourself. This is not a laughing matter. Yes, 85 per cent of us get smelly due to some particular reasons. Bad breath is a very common consequence people are facing today. So, what can we do?

In most cases, bad breath is caused by excessive bacteria in the mouth. Therefore, you should brush your teeth twice a day for as long as 2 minutes. It is recommended to wash your mouth each time you finished eating. While brushing, make sure that you brush your tongue and floss between your teeth.

Check on your diet. Onions or curry or other spicy food can leave your body with an odor. Chewing parsley, mint or cloves of course, will help get rid of this bad odor.

Saliva in your mouth works to flush bacteria away. When your mouth is dry, it can encourage bad breath. To avoid your mouth become dry, make sure you drink plenty of water but avoid alcohol and coffee as these drinks can dry out your mouth. Alternatively, chew sugar-free gum as it can help keep your saliva flowing smoothly.

Most mouth washes sold in the market just mask away the smell. It is advisable to ask your dentist to supply you with suitable mouth wash that can help you fight the bacteria more effectively.

Bad breath is also linked to mouth diseases such as abscess, cavities or gum-related disease. In this case, consult your dentist to make the appointment to check on your oral health. Upon seeing your dentist, they may suggest you what not to eat, or drink and they may ask you to stop smoking so that they can diagnose the odor more accurately.
